that's what foreigners find hard to understand about america. buying a gun, for so many in this land, is as natural as buying a car. americans on more guns than any other country in the world, 300 million weapons in all, 89 for every 100 people. in fact, 42% of all the world's civilian guns are owned by citizens of the united states. no problem for some. anybody should be able to own a gun. if we don't own guns, the only people who will have them is then. for others, the shock of sunday gives pause for thought. it's a conjugated issue. i can't... ijust choked it's a conjugated issue. i can't... i just choked up. it's a conjugated issue. i can't... ijust choked up. and the issue has become politically partisan. congress is split. democrats, on the whole, want loopholes in america's gun laws plugged. the gun laws in the united states are swiss cheese, full of holes. we have to close the loopholes that exist that allow felons and those who have been charged and convicted of domestic violence, and those who have been judged to be mentally unstable,

leonardo rocha, america's editor for bbc world service, gave us more details about the operation. it involved more than 1,000 police officers and they had been investigating it for about six months. when they went to investigate and started to see the images, and they actually interviewed some of the children involved and the teenagers involved, some of them related to the people abusing them, they realised there was a whole ring producing material. many arrested were in charge of football clubs, like, youth clubs. there were civil servants, retired policemen. it's a huge scandal, and for the brazilian government, that might be the tip of the iceberg. now they are on a different stage of the investigation. they are trying to analyse these 150,000 images of children, very young children, very disturbing images, and to find if they were a network ring in brazil, or if they were a network operating with rings across the world, in europe and other parts of the world. the somali government says the number of dead from last saturday's huge truck bombing in the capital mogadishu has rise

america is a place of relentless ongoing chances. you don'tjust get second chances in the united states, you get third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh chances. you get to remake yourself in the united states. is there any chance for harvey weinstein to come back? no. no, i think we're in a watershed moment. this is... this is a sea change. i think his last name will become a noun and verb. he'll become an identifying moniker for a state of being for which there is a before and an after. perhaps all men, myself included, should pipe down and not try to explain it and not try to comment on it. certainly not to try to defend it. i was talking to a very famous, very well—respected actress who is a very good friend of yours who said almost entirely the opposite. she said it's time for the men to stand up and do something. oh, well... i'm saying that first we've got to hear from everybody so that we understand how vast and how all—encompassing this was. that's a. b is, it's all got to change. talking of america, just touching on dona
